Blogs > Clothes & AccessoriesNatalie Portman fo Té CasanNatalie Portman doesn't care for cruelty, that is cruelty to animals. Which is why she got involved with Té Casan & helped design a new line of shoes which promise to be cruelty free. According to Elle she told PETA that "All of my shoes are from Target or Stella McCartney" oh and she's also a vegan. We aren't fans PETA, mostly because of the crazy stunts they pull, but we can appreciate her intentions. It's just that the shoes aren't that exciting, they aren't bad but really would you be willing to pay a little extra to be boring but ethical? 
Daily Desire: Girard-Perregaux TourbillonThis one is for Daniel, for you see Daniel has somewhat of a watch fetish, and just for a quick clarification here I don't mean he's sexually attracted to watches or people wearing watches. He has a sizable and ever-expanding collection of them though. Recently I stumbled across this amazing offering from Girard-Perregaux.

Daily Desire: MacBookI want an Apple MacBook, specifically a black MacBook, even more specifically I want my black MacBook. I woke up this morning and the unthinkable had happened: I went to check my email and to my absolute shock & horror she wouldn't turn on, calling Apple didn't help, and as of now she's at my nearest Mac centre waiting to be dissected and seen if she can be repaired. An absolute travesty. So what now? I've had to pull out my old and thoroughly uncool NEC laptop... I was sure it was through between us! But I had to write something.

Christmas Desire: Rory Beca CarmenI don't usually write about dresses in my daily desires. Not that I have anything against dresses. Dresses are wonderful on the right people, you know, for instance girls, but because I'm feeling generous today's christmas desire is a Tee dress;
Preview of Vincent & Vincent, A/W 08We've been adoring women's leather jackets for quite some time, but finding hot men's versions hasn't proved quite as easy. Enter Vincent & Vincent - designer label in leather goods from Perth, Australia. We were fortunate enough to be given a preview of the Autumn / Winter 2008 range - and all we have to say is WOW! The jackets are hand-tailored; made with Italian leather, carved horn buttons, and silk linings.
Christmas Desires: Girard-Perregaux watchIf you're looking for a timeless gift for a guy who knows his Tom Ford from his Stevie, it's worth perusing the range of watches from Girard-Perregaux.
The one pictured above is a vintage 1945 king-size watch with perpetual calendar - definitely a true Gentleman's watch. Christmas gifts: 2008's fashionable calendars Truth be known, I’m a fan of calendars. I have a few up around the house. But not once do I use them for their purpose. You won’t find notes in any of my current three. And I can’t recall the last time I looked at one to actually contemplate what the date was. Surely they’re not for that? Case in point: I recently skipped an entire month from my Pirelli calendar because I was convinced that a photo of a topless Sophie Dahl might be so damaging that I’d be left with a life-long need of viagra. Rather I like to look upon my calendars as little, frameless art installations. Each month I get a new picture, photo, setting or idea upon my wall. With each new month comes another piece of inspiration, or a new enjoyment. And given that they can have so much influence upon a room it’s important that if you’re giving one as a gift this Christmas you pick the right one. Sadly with such a plethora or cheap calendars out there it’s easy to fall into the trap of giving one that is somewhat lacklustre or down right awful. So what should be gracing your friend’s (or your own) walls in 2008? |
